[10:48] Ok server back up , sorry users :P [10:48] lol [10:49] Fortunately it's Friday afternoon so nobody working anyway [10:54] I'm lucky with my dealer. When I buy I can specify " No OS " [10:55] In desktops anyway , laptops not [10:55] Hey Kilos I have an idea [11:00] ? [11:01] nvm [11:15] maaz tell langjan http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ [11:15] mazal: Righto, I'll tell Langjan on freenode [11:27] i dual booted 14.04 on win7 here on this lappy when i got it and it worked finew [11:29] The UEFI and Secure boot thing of Win 8+ can cuase headaches. From what I read [11:30] Haven't needed to do it myself. Last time I did it was Win XP days [11:31] i dont even know if uefi was involved here [11:31] install just worked [11:37] I used a different way for a while. Installed ubuntu on external hdd. Worked great as your OS and apps went where youu went. But performance wise very slow [11:37] Even on USB3 [11:37] Barry still does it till today though [11:38] starnge usb3 is slow [11:38] strange [11:38] Not really [11:38] Internal drive is faster [11:38] " I love usb3 .. just did a speed test for guy on Linux Europe.... 47 GB iso file...... 6 seconds. " [11:39] thas not slow at all [11:39] Yeah in copying data terms is fine [11:39] But running OS from it is slower than internal [11:40] ah [11:40] Well for the first bit anyway [11:40] Once all apps is open and running it is not big difference. But the booting and opening of apps is slower [11:40] ok [11:42] But it's nice having your axact same stuff at work and at home the whole time. I worked like that for more than a year I think [11:42] And could leave the Winbloze pc alone for it's games [11:42] yes [11:44] But with SSD at home machine now I won't even concider USB3 for my OS [11:45] ssd actually lekker fast [11:45] im happy this one is still going [11:45] I can now actually for the first time test it properly. My home pc and work pc has exact same OS and apps. But this one is HDD [11:46] And home faster for sure. [11:46] And home one has slower CPU actually. This one i7 , home on I5 [11:50] Now I crave a tjoklit [11:50] maaz do you have tjoklits ? [11:50] mazal: I already know stuff about do you [11:51] And all our shops closed :( [11:55] ai! dont talk about those things [11:55] why ? [11:55] you make my mouth cry [11:55] Ok I'll nibble on a cookie instead [11:56] lol [11:58] * mazal schedules weekend plans [11:59] no shopping [11:59] Cancelled my shopping plan of tomorrow [11:59] I remembered it's end of the month [11:59] Then it's too busy there [12:00] But.............there is always digital stores lol [12:00] go read what chuck says [12:00] Who is chuck ? [12:01] sec [12:01] I only know chucky the crazy doll [12:02] cant copy link [12:02] hmm... [12:03] ill mail it to you [12:03] Gaan hy met my raas ? Dan wil ek dit nie lees nie [12:03] nee man [12:04] That is a lot of big words [12:05] yes [12:05] read instead of shopping [12:06] * mazal don't read [12:06] theh spend some time learning to read [12:07] either way will save you money [12:07] * mazal too old to learn [12:07] hahahaha [12:11] I hate SSL / TLS :( [12:11] Hi theblazehen [12:12] hey mazal.

[14:37] nope still waiting for visa [14:39] Kilos: weekend usually means unblocked wifi (so I can actually get weechat on my phone). And being able to sleep in a bit [14:39] lol [14:40] do you understand xml stuff [14:40] Kinda. You use tags and stuff [14:41] i have under taken a task but will need to set up a team to help [14:41] Worked with it quite a lot when I was maintaining Java applications [14:41] What does it entail? [14:41] translation into afrikaans [14:42] http://raisingphoenicia.com/localization [14:42] Ah, cool [14:42] i dont know if we do it onbline or copy that and set it up here [14:43] online [14:43] then we can distribute it to school kids i think [14:43] maybe even pre primary schools [14:44] Looks interesting! [14:44] http://raisingphoenicia.com [14:44] do you understand it? [14:45] its just words and symbols to me [14:45] hi Sxuza [14:47] Kilos: yeah I understand it [14:47] yay [14:47] must one download something [14:47] we can pull in chesedo as well i hope [14:48] hey all [14:48] hi Kilos :) [14:49] I'll have to have a look in more detail when I get home and find out [14:49] cool ty [14:52] Good afternoon [14:52] hi gremble [14:52] How are you Kilos? [14:52] good ty and you? [14:52] I am well thank you [14:53] I never knew how useful a drop-down terminal could be [14:53] ubuntu mate has this really nice feature where you get a terminal by pressing f12 [14:53] what is a dropdown terminal [14:53] It is always open, just hidden [14:54] It is a terminal that "drops down" from the top of your screen [14:54] oh [14:54] one can get it in kde as well but i didnt know what it was so didnt bother [14:55] easy enough to open terminals here with ctrl+T [15:02] * chesedo is away from home this weekend Kilos [15:06] ok [15:06] lol [15:07] will catch you when you come back [16:37] Kilos: Had a look at that localization - we need to create a "Locale Pack" that includes the xml manifest with word translations, ogg audio translations of words and visual images it seems [16:38] haha paddatrapper say that in english [16:38] So, yes, would need to download and work on it locally in a source tree and then submit it [16:38] oh like merging when using bzr [16:39] that manifest.xml file allows you to add text translations - bv. cat -> kat, then we need to record the audio clips - cat.ogg of a voice saying 'kat', and optionally textures if the word is seen on objects in the game [16:40] holy smokes [16:40] mike said its quite easy [16:41] These all get kept together in the Locale Pack which we maintain like we would any other piece of software - launchpad perhaps? and submit it to them [16:41] so its text words and audio as well [16:41] i thought it was just text [16:42] It shouldn't be too difficult as the framework is already given. Looks like it is definitely the sound of each letter, don't know if it is each word as well [16:42] but we can make a team, im sure we can get it done [16:42] oh yes sounds [16:43] will need sounds of the words as well i think [16:44] Sure. I have the recording equipment, but not the accent. can look around and find someone to be the voice actor [16:44] Looking at it again - yes 1 recording for each word and 2 for letters - one for the name of the letter and one for it's sound [16:45] whew [16:46] you think we can do it paddatrapper [16:46] I reckon so :D [16:47] yay we get superfly to say the words [16:47] Good idea [16:48] he can swim across the vlei to you [16:48] hehe [16:49] we will have to hear if he can pronounce afrikaans words properly [16:50] Hehe. Probably does better than me! [16:50] * paddatrapper klink soos 'n vrot Nederlander [16:50] haha [16:51] there are many of the guys in that area [16:51] oh ill mail nuvolari [16:51] Awesome [16:51] he has been slacking here since he moved to CT [16:54] Lol. What do you expect? CT is nice and laidback [16:55] mailed him [16:56] maaz tell Cryterion that I miss his humour, :) [16:56] pavlushka: Got it, I'll tell Cryterion on freenode [16:56] haha [16:58] Kilos: :p [16:58] yes?

[20:23] yes [20:23] will have to use it dual booting for a year' [20:23] do you want win10 in there? [20:23] actually not alongside Cryterion [20:24] came with win 10 [20:24] dual boot Kilos! [20:24] on drive partitioned in half then ubuntu on the second half [20:24] ya dual boot [20:25] 4.44 mins remain [20:25] sjoe [20:25] already almost 20 mins [20:25] shocking [20:26] microsoft has been very agresive lately with getting 10 out, they might have done something, wouldn't surprise me [20:26] aye [20:26] I'd just kill it, then run win in vb if needed [20:26] after warranty up wipe it and install ubunu only [20:26] they keep pestering me to upgrade on my wife's machine [20:26] dont upgarde [20:27] OS change doesn't/shouldn't void warranty by legal means [20:27] win in vb is finicky [20:27] read that mail i sent you [20:27] Hi Cryterion [20:27] I wont upgrade, I hardly use it [20:27] heya mazal [20:27] Langjan, maybe you selected "install updates" option , then it will take long [20:28] hmm [20:28] oh ya [20:28] I never tick than when installing , I do updates after install [20:28] Not this time, but did select 3rd party software [20:28] ai!
